William Kim

William Kim serves as a key procurement lead within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, supporting the Department of Health and Human Services’ mission to sustain national health emergency readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on agile support services and logistics infrastructure critical to rapid response operations. His work centers on securing professional, scientific, and technical services alongside administrative and operational support solutions that enable scalable, data-driven decision-making during public health crises. Kim’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s need for flexible, mission-critical capabilities that can be deployed on short notice across federal, state, and local emergency response networks. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Kim’s procurement patterns suggest engagement with a broad spectrum of vendors offering specialized technical services and business support functions. He maintains relationships with both large professional services firms and niche small businesses capable of delivering rapid-response logistics, data analytics, and operational coordination under dynamic conditions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear deliverables, and adaptable service-level agreements tailored to emergency preparedness requirements. Kim exhibits a strong preference for non-set-aside contracts, with 75% of awards issued under open competition, while maintaining a consistent 25% allocation to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a deliberate strategy to ensure broad market access while prioritizing capability and readiness over socioeconomic categorization alone. His approach supports a competitive ecosystem where small businesses compete on merit, with no indication of preferential use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 561439 (Other Business Service Centers), indicating a heavy reliance on specialized consulting, emergency planning support, data management, and administrative logistics services. These categories reflect expertise in crisis response coordination, workforce mobilization, and operational backend support essential to sustaining national health security.
